Went to Elmina yesterday, and was able to drive my car to Elmina Valley construction site. EV1 is about 80% build up, EV2 is about 70%
EV3 double sty link 22x75 15% , near the indian temple. EV3 20x60 and 24x75 about to commence.
There were 2 plots of land which were cleared and level flat, just next to EV3, and I believed it should be the EV4 and EV5 new launch

One of the attractive point in considering to buy Elmina's properties are its design and outlook, and amble open spaces, wide service roads, etc and also, its a big township development, much bigger than Denai Alam. It will be like bandar utama - in comparison to other nearby development in that vicinity. The other big township will probably be Kwasa damansara, which is next to Elmina.

Elmina is a new freehold development township - should be 3 to 4 times the size of denai alam - in the future, there will be shopping mall, schools, etc - just like Bandar Utama.
Its connected to Denai Alam, so Elmina residents can share with Denai Alam's facilities.
The overall layout of this township is very nice - with lots of open spaces and wider service roads.
Elmina valley will be a gated residential development, as all the purchasers need to signed a supplementary agreement to give consent to the developer to build fencing and a guardhse to the developed phase - EV1, EV2, EV3, etc

Elmina is for long term investment 5 to 10 years, before you can see your investment appreciate - so if you are looking to flip - better reconsider. But if you plan to buy a landed property for your own stay - then this project really worth considering. There are some really good reason to invest there - the most important being the approval to proceed with the DASH highway.

By that time, Elmina, currently link to Denai Alam - will be interconnected with another huge development, and will have access to MRT

News on Elmina, this morning:

http://www.starproperty.my/index.php/artic...ellness-living/

whether west or east is better is subjective, but based on current info:

the more expensive property type are launched in Elimina West
The affordable properties from 550k to less than a 1M are launched in Elimina East ( except for corner houses with extra land )
It seems the under construction park is at Elmina East - and also east is connected directly to bukit subang and denai alam.
From the Guthrie corridor highway, you can turn in to Elimina East directly and shorter distance, but now this road is currently not accessible, because EV1,2,3,4 under construction.

All the EV phases will be fenced up according to each phase, and with proper guardhse - provided by Sime Darby developer.

For Elmina East

Yes you corrected me...thanks

The initial Elmina phases is in Elmina Gardens, and its not gated, and are higher priced landed properties
wheareas Elmina Valley will have parameter fencing with a proper guardhse in each phase - and launching prices were 500k up, smaller land area and built up

Thank you for sharing your kindness and understanding the plight of these dogs. They could have lived in a proper home before, but somehow their owners were irresponsible and could have just abandoned them, without realizing how cruel it is. These dogs have a heart and a sense of survival and they tried to live and survive together.

These dogs understood that they were rejected and left homeless by their former owners - and there's nothing they can do but to live on - eat and drink with what they can find edible - as they don't really know how to speak or reach out to us - their unfortunate sufferings and hopes. They will try to avoid human contact and always fearing that some unkind people will catch and end their destiny. Lets hope that these harmless dogs can find their own destiny and hopefully they can find happiness with each other and survive - without any other further cruelty towards them.

Thank you

Most of eco and desa parkcity " landed " properties are strata titles - meaning all these property owners have to pay a monthly maintenance fees + sinking funds - and you must pay, otherwise late interest on arrears will be charged.
Although 99.9% of Elmina landed properties are individual freehold titles - and in my opinion - sime darby did well - without collecting any source of funds. I think the residents there plays a part in keeping the environment clean and tidy - and avoid any unnecessary extensions which could inconvenient the neighboring houses outlook

Denai alam township started 6 or 7 years ago, I was there last week and looking at denai alam terrace houses - the houses there blended well together and the surroundings is clean and well maintained. Meaning there's no 2 storey being extended to 3 storey, or major extensions done to the houses..
The roof tiles are of the same colors, the exterior walls, etc.

If you go to other housing estates like kepong - you will see what I mean - even single storey becomes 2 or 3 storey and most of it - illegal extensions. Almost all of the houses have a different color and outlook. Just sharing my opinion...
